installer fails if Atmel studio is installed on computer about vssolutionbuildevent

[rezodlub]

VSIXInstaller vsSolutionBuildEvent.1.14.0.16ee135.SDK15.vsix did the trick for me. Thank you.

@rezodlub, Did you try with SDK 15 packages? This is more like SDK 10 package from your log above.

https://vssbe.r-eg.net/doc/Usage/#sdk10--sdk15-versions

Starting from VS2019 you need use only SDK15 packages.
VS2017: SDK10 or SDK15 (recommended)

Although SDK10 is available for VS2017, it will not provide full support as for the modern SDK15.
Please check this out.

SDK15 doesn't help at all. Installer fails just the same. Logs below:

@rezodlub, I've just checked this problem via VM and clean installed VS2017 + Atmel Studio (as-installer-7.0.2389).

I confirm the problem. However, this is not relevant to our project at all.

Moreover, you can check it through other extensions, for example, the most popular:

• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SteveDowerMSFT.IndentGuides
• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SteveCadwallader.CodeMaid

All this will have the same issue:

Searching for applicable products...
Found installed product - Global Location
Found installed product - AtmelStudio
VSIXInstaller.NoApplicableSKUsException: This extension is not installable on any currently installed products.

But, for example, the following will work:

• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.GitHubExtensionforVisualStudio

Because:

<Installation AllUsers="true" Experimental="false">

That triggers UAC.

That is, you need to contact with Atmel Studio support or with Microsoft support.

Solution for this case

Try installing with administrator privileges, or even just like this:

VSIXInstaller vsSolutionBuildEvent.1.14.0.16ee135.SDK15.vsix

This is more like issue with paths to some dependencies after Atmel Studio installation that finally breaks VSIXInstaller.

Or try VSIXInstaller /admin if not.

The first command above (no admin) solved at least my problem in VM.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for using!
